On a cold January morning in Pennsylvania, a jogger passes a hat factory and notices something out of place in the woods... a pink Ugg boot, half-buried in mud. A few steps later, a pristine handbag. Inside, an ID belonging to a 23-year-old woman who was last seen leaving her home the night before New Year’s Eve.Ashley Kline was known for being kind, trusting, and reliable. She lived at home with her father, had plans for the future, and was excited for the year ahead. When she didn’t come home - and didn’t show up for a New Year’s party - those closest to her knew something was wrong.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

When undercover cameras rolled inside Winterbourne View Hospital, the truth was worse than anyone imagined. What was meant to be a safe, specialist unit for vulnerable adults was, in reality, a place of torment — a system-wide failure hiding in plain sight.In this episode, we trace the shocking abuse uncovered by BBC Panorama, the promises made in its aftermath, and the uncomfortable truth more than a decade on: despite national pledges and sweeping reforms, thousands of people with learning disabilities are still living in hospital units miles from home.This is the real story of Winterbourne View — the cruelty, the cover-ups, and the long shadow it still casts across the UK care system.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

Family members of the abused patients should employ a bunch strong burly men, show them the videos of the abuse and photos of the abusers (and ideally the abusers should sit in on this "movie night") and then let these burly guys have free reign on the abusers, subjecting them to the same abuse as what they inflicted on the patients.

Maybe, for life sentence prison who showed callous indifference to the suffering of their victims, their "security" in knowing they can't be punished anymore should be taken away. Change the law so that these criminals can be made to suffer every day for the rest of their lives. Hard labor. Painful punishments like branding with glowing hot steel for rule violations, and painful executions by burning at the stake. Maybe that will curb their behaviour and give justice to their victims.

I listened to Paris Hilton's podcast on the troubled teen industry and it is horrific. These people need to spend the rest of their lives in prison for the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, torture, and death they subjected these kids to. And maybe their time in prison should be made just as tormenting as that of the kids they abused.

The death penalty isn't just about making people fearful so they won't commit murder. It's primarily to provide the required penalty to the murderer: They took someone's life, they killed someone made in the image of God, and as a result they forfeit the right to their own life. I think justice should be swift too. If there are multiple independent witnesses or clear video footage showing the murderer in that act, that person's execution date should be within a year of the guilty verdict.

"If you have had the unfortunate opportunity to see... Someone who's been shot point blank in the head, You will know... " 😂 Grace, you're the best narrator I ever heard!

Loved the format of you with a co-presenter,on the one, & the idea of an episode tracing the history of 'cruel & unusual punishment' - What constitutes it & Do we still have any in use today? If so, what could possibly replace them? Good episode, thanks!

A few years ago I read a book called operation lighthouse. Its about a uk case when a woman was about to leave years of cohesive control - abuse from her husband. However, he shot her in public on the eve of attempt to leave. For me this book, highlighted how abuse can be missed because "physical" scars are not left. As well as the dangers of leaving an abusive relationship. I don't know if you have cover already.

These courageous men and the dirty, scary, dangerous work they do are a great example to hold up to those woke women who say we don't need men in our society. If it wasn't for men like these building our infrastructure, our society wouldn't exist! You don't see women volunteering for these hard dangerous jobs.

Hi, love your voice and accent. As for this story, I wished you'd mentioned what punishment the oil company directors got for their failure to rescue these men. I think they should spend 20+ years in prison.

thanks for covering this important case, I can't find many deep dives into this one & truly, it goes deep. The child Beth (Thomas) from the documentary 'child of rage' went thru this 'attachment therapy' & she continues to advocate for it in her adulthood, sadly. Children in the care system need to be cared for so much more and that's down to All of us.

Gosh that's some really messed stuff! Those prison sentences were far too lenient. After only 16 years in prison, Candace would have been a 26 year old woman if she had not been callously killed. She'd probably be married and aboutvto have kids of her own. All tragically taken away from her. The only nice thing about this episode is your voice. I love the sound and your accent.

This is the first episode I've listened to, having just subscribed, and I've got to say the narrator (Grace?) has such a lovely sweet voice. I like her accent too, and I appreciate how she reads the facts of the case in a way where she's not expressing hatred or disgust at the perpetrator, horrific though his crime was.

Am I missing something? This episode was released on 1st December 2022 and yet at 31:15 it says Sarah Everard was killed "just last week". Have I entered a parallel universe or has my download taken a REALLY long time?
